developing an app directly on wayland and that it would be really difficult.

yes it would - you'd just end up reimplementing work from projects like SDL and gtk, this is why we invented libraries.

firefox and gtk

firefox is gtk3 based, which is substantially different from gtk4, and moreso adwaita. there's some discussion about porting to gtk4, but for large projects like these shit is slow moving - just look at how long steam is taking to port their client to wayland.
